Thanks Erin for a nice video. We can never learn enough about riding safely and still have fun doing it. Take care and enjoy.
Agree, its too easy to gloss over lessons taught and think you know it all, it's all reinforcement.

An excellent video, simply stated and easy to understand. Thank you Erin.

I do however have one concern......
.....
...
.......... Mick is NOT riding on the "right" side of the road!!! hehe.

Paul
But for him, he is right on the left, Paul :wink2:

Nice Thread !!

Never too old to refresh the basics. Good points Mick. Great thread Erin.
I loved to watch Doohan wipe up the GP field on the Repsol Honda.
He steered the RC through the curves by sliding the rear tire.
Perhaps Mick is one gentleman ABS Pro would be wasted on.:D
Once rigged up a garden tiller throttle to operate with his thumb
when his body was too busted up to operate controls normally.
We can all benefit from these riding technique lessons,
and pass them on to next generation riders when we are asked.
 
This is of course a serious topic, but I couldn't help myself:

Wouldn't he have been okay if he'd gone for the inner apex?



Just kidding...of course there's no room for him there :grin2:

Think any space is good when you have no room, seriously, we have visitors to this country that will momentarily forget what side of the road they are meant to drive on.
A motorcyclist from overseas was killed last week in a valley close by to where I live, he was riding on the wrong side when he collided into a 4WD:frown2:

I would go for that small space up the side of the bus which would take me up the bank somewhat, you would have to give it a go with no other option.
